3 bedroom house with pool and 2 blocks to ocean sand

The property was amazing. Close to the beach and the pool was so nice to relax in,in the evenings. The house was bigger than expected the sunroom was so nice to sit and have breakfast in. Would definitely stay again if in the area

Research before booking. Despite following the rules, the property owner was combative and unprofessional at every opportunity.We were denied heat during nights in the 40s. My granddaughter was waking up crying from the cold. We asked for thermostat control, the owner texted No more heat. Get a blanket for the baby despite blankets being dangerous for young children and heat being legally required for FL rentals. The rental wasn't ready upon arrival. We were told days before check-in the backyard/pool would be unavailable for three days. When we asked to delay our stay (as seniors who rented specifically for the fenced yard for our dogs), the owner refused, she was rude and dismissive. No compensation was offered for the unusable amenities.The listing photos are misleading - omit the outdated, gross primary bathroom (had ants/roaches), damage on front of house, cheap/falling apart furniture and generally poor property maintenance. The backyard had excessive dog feces upon arrival. Unheated pool. House clean but smells bad. After arrival garage use/parking was prohibited, and she demanded we keep the garage door unlocked 24/7 for staff, who arrived unannounced (unsafe/unsettling). List goes on...Like other reviewers have encountered, the owner engages in violating and unprofessional conduct. She takes no accountability for her conduct and seems to have an excuse for everything. The location is nice, house is OK, but the owner made our stay extremely unpleasant.

Great location, near everything, host was very gracious..we didn't want to leave.

We loved the property; very clean and great location for our needs. Very responsive host. We would choose this property again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is my third time staying at this property and it never disappoints. Meticulously maintained and clean; well appointed; awesome location by the beach and pet friendly. The patio area was clean and the pool was crystal clear. I’ve already booked my dates for next year.

Be sure to read all the fine print and rules before booking. If you are visiting friends and or family in the area, you should go elsewhere if you have any intention of letting them set foot in the house. It is forbidden and, ostensibly, monitored. Also, the owner is serious about the identification requirement, as you won't receive the door code until i.d.s are uploaded. I've never seen either of these policies in all my years of renting short-term vacation properties. The house itself is great. The pool and patio furniture are nice. It is very clean, spacious, well stocked, well maintained and an easy walk to the beach.

Stayed here last month while we were on vacation. Great location right off the beach. Leading up to our reservation the owner was very communicative, however on the evening we checked in the code provided to get in the door did not work. Attempted to call/txt the owner multiple times but could not get ahold of her. We spent roughly 3 hours waiting in the dark with our two kids trying to find someone to help. Finally vrbo customer service was able to set us up at a beach side hotel down the road while we worked to clear up the issues with accessing the property. The next morning the owner reached out to us and corrected the issue with the code and we were able to access the property. She was very apologetic about the situation and refunded us for the night that we couldn't use the property. Overall the situation was a little scary being in an unfamiliar place at night, trying to keep kids calm and not knowing where we are going to be sleeping. This definitely started our vacation out on a not so good note. Once we got into the property the rest was fine for the most part but a few minor things: -the owner informed us that the pool cleaner got in a car accident and wouldn't be able to clean the pool area up. The patio was pretty dirty, lots of bird poop and it didn't look like it had been cleaned for awhile. We didn't use the pool. -sent the owner pictures of the bed sheets in the master bedroom that appeared to have cigarette burns on them; hopefully they threw these away. Would return to this area of FL for sure, but would probably try a different property next time. A+ for VRBO customer service for being responsive and saving us when we got in a bind during check in.

The house was nice and clean. As advertised, it is in walking distance to the beach. There is no sidewalk to A1A. Once to A1A, you must cross this very busy street, but there is a crosswalk nearby. It was difficult to relax and enjoy the stay as the owner, did not make us feel comfortable and welcome on the property. Multiple times she pointedly indicated the house rules and how there are strict penalties and charges if there are any infractions. An example - one day, she was unable to access the security cameras in the backyard and sent text messages asking if we had tampered with the equipment (we had not) and another reminder of “strict penalties” and charges if we had. My family has rented properties w/ VRBO for many years. We are good renters who often leave properties in better condition than we found them. We simply want to gather, reconnect, relax and enjoy each other's company. It was disappointing to not feel relaxed during our reunion. While on the subject of rules: I would suggest to the owner that she have a laminated list of rules and instructions posted in the house (as most other rental properties do). Providing it in the VRBO app alone, does not allow for easy access for all guests. That being said, I would never rent this house again nor any other property with this owner.

Love this 3/3. Plenty of room to spread out inside and out. I loved laying out in the sun next to the pool. It is a quick walk to the beautiful white sand beaches and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. This home is in a neighborhood of well tended homes. You will see lots of walkers and joggers enjoying the beautiful weather. I'm looking forward to my next stay in this home.
